I want one of these new garage door openers...
When I get home I have to see if I can make one of these door openers.

Cool, but I'm guessing it will be very expensive in the long run.

When I was a kid my dad had a remote like that for his television, and the fridge, and the lawn mower. He also had "instant messeging" cause you didn't want him to have to tell you twice!

Now if one were built from the parts bin found in the "chest" and "panty" threads...

That is pretty funny. I have an opener for the Harley, it works with the headlight beam switch, I think it is one of the best accessories I own for the bike and I don't have to feed it!

That looks like a very expensive method to open and close a door. I will stick to my electric version.

I suspect the reliability is very low. That stuff is probably as reliable as Lucas electronics! Moody automation is more frustrating than manual stuff at times. But it's still nice to have options.

Personally the opener above has far too much clothing on. She should be waiting inside the garage when the signal is given, then toss it open and close it once the bike is inside. She could then assist the rider with various things before returning inside and getting him a beer and BJ as was intended years ago!

A bit off topic, but what a MISERABLE excuse of a garage! WTF can you fit in there? This is exactly why you can't live in Europe unless you are very wealthy. Even the floor isn't flat between the "garage" and the front door.
